If you do not throw yourself into the breakers, how will you ever meet the one who frolics in the waves? --Zen Saying The Auckland Zen Centre is a Buddhist community supporting authentic Zen practice and training in Auckland City, New Zealand. | CENTRE IS OPEN FOR ALL SITTINGS Auckland is back to Alert Level 1 so we are able to sit together at the Centre again, with just the usual extra requirements (scanning/signing in and Covid hygiene -- details here). All our morning and evening sittings continue to be audio streamed as usual. A schedule for EARTH DAY (Sunday 18 April) is available here. Our introductory workshops include:
In 2021 we are offering our standard two-part format, and also a new one-day format, which may suit out-of-town participants. We make and sell traditional meditation zafus (cushions) and zabutons (mats). Check the Dharmagear website for details or contact dharmagear@aucklandzen.org.nz. In 2019 the Auckland Zen Centre declared a Climate Emergency. In doing this, we join hundreds of other Buddhist communities, faith groups, councils, cities and nations around the world, in order to serve and live in harmony with our living planet and all its beings as best we can. For more about the declaration and the work we are doing at the Centre, see our Compassionate Action page. Most recent Newsletter Our Facebook page and Facebook discussion group |
